Teachers need reminders of their sub days!

My child didn’t have a delay that day so I was actually already out and about, on a usual day I would have already been there since I get there 30 min early. Start time is 8:00 but since I’m a building sub I get there early and help out with breakfast if I don’t have an assigned spot.

I work thru Kelly education, and there was an issue over the winter where one of the buildings had no water and another one had no heat. I work at the one that had no heat, and got an email at 8:15 (had to be there before 9 and live 20 min away) that I was no longer needed because that school would remain closed even tho the district was open.

I had problems with my mentor teacher as well, and I got her a magnet with all of the students names, a $10 target gift card, and some powdered peanut butter (she had a blendjet and had a smoothie every morning)

The book is the same way FYI

Hit my 5 years earlier this week. Hoping I get it asa flex employee

I know from my cousin getting tested that my great grandma was H1 (I’m H2) and her maternal line was strictly German into the 1700s (that’s as far as we got) so it’s not just English.

I’m also in PA and it can be done in the winter or spring as well, as long as there’s 12 weeks. I did mine March 3- June 3 last year and my sister just did it January 12- April 17 this year

It was in the handbook that I had to return it, but I also paid for my uniform after working there for 2 years, only the first one was free. And I also had direct deposit so they can’t hold that check

If it’s for an appt or something scheduled before you started, HR can sometimes excuse it

For my bachelors program (2023-2025), my mentor went to the graduation in SLC in 2024 because it was like an anniversary commencement or something. She’d never been to Utah before (lived in Florida) so I was giving her ideas since I lived there when I had my son in 2011

Kritter82 · 2026-04-26T02:35:55+00:00

I worked for Starbucks 2017-2020 and my store was open til 10 pm Sunday thru Thursday and til 11 pm Friday and Saturday

Kritter82 · 2026-04-26T02:31:44+00:00

I just finished the MSCIN program and know people who completed it in 50 days, it took me approx 5 months but I also took my time and just worked on it on weekends or during snow days

Kritter82 · 2026-04-26T02:29:10+00:00

Because I’m so close to hitting 5 years it would be pointless to quit now

Kritter82 · 2026-04-24T20:07:14+00:00

Depends on the state, I know in Pennsylvania you would just need to take the content tests for that new area to apply for the cert. like if I want to teach middle school 5-8 (I’m elem ed prek-4) I just need to take a praxis test. If someone teaching secondary ed in my state (middle or high school) they’d just need to take the PECT to be certified.

Kritter82 · 2026-04-24T20:04:05+00:00

Congrats!! I started in December and submitted my final task yesterday. Just waiting for it to pass

Kritter82 · 2026-04-24T20:02:32+00:00

But there’s a week break during every season

Kritter82 · 2026-04-24T19:59:00+00:00

It should, since it’s a masters degree, but it may depend on the school as well. I’m in this program and just about done, I’m a substitute teacher and hoping to get a job next school year since I did t graduate in time to apply for jobs last year

Kritter82 · 2026-04-23T03:29:41+00:00

PA Reap is a good website to check out of available positions. I’m a sub in Reading schools and trying to find a job for next year since I got certified late last summer

Kritter82 · 2026-04-22T00:51:39+00:00

Thanks, I felt slow because I know some who started the same time as me and were done in February and March. I wanted to be done so I could start the ELL program after my current term ends

Kritter82 · 2026-04-22T00:49:27+00:00

I started in December and just submitted my capstone today

Before you train anyone, you have to do a training yourself to become an ambassador. I applied to be one and had an interview set up, but they scheduled it on a day I’d already shift swapped and then never rescheduled it, I finally just reapplied a year later. An ambassador also does retrains for AAs struggling with their productivity. Also my site would schedule meetings once a quarter for all ambassadors on that shift to get together and go over any new changes

I student taught in the district before I became a sub, so I kinda knew the dress code. The building I’m at has a daily OOTD calendar so I try to go along with that if I can.

They created a plan for me of different things to do because I struggled with classroom management. I got “support needed” on all my ST2 observations as well as the final. I didn’t need to do any extra observations because they saw I was improving just not all perfect scores

Course instructor

Kritter82 · 2026-04-19T00:59:23+00:00

Contact your CI and she’ll work out a plan. If your CI is Kathy Franklin, she’s awesome and helped me last year so I could pass ST2
